She might bone up on the work of Richard Lindzen, Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT, among others. Vilification and dismissal of his scholarly research on the issue by global warming alarmists is neither refutation nor good science.

That blatant fear-mongering flies in the face of what the NMS, NASA, and other expert groups clearly state: that these current events have naught to do with global warming.

In fact, climatology is a dauntingly complicated requiring advanced computer modeling skills and physics and math expertise that even most of the scientists who “vote” with the global warming majority do not possess — much less politicians, lay people, advocates and, I’m sure, Abdallah herself.

Most reasonable folks agree that the U.S. should reduce fossil fuel use and CO2 output and its dependence upon Mideast fossil fuel, taking care to follow that prudent course without inflicting sore economic damage.

But Abdallah does that cause no favors by positing Mr. Obama as the hero in her climate change story.
